Could you give us the context, Anon? Thanks! "Duplicate" is "make a copy", as in "xerox".

In some contexts, it might mean "cause the problem to occur again", so we can try to determine what causes it.

"If we duplicate the problem" is not even a sentence.
But in any case, it probably means "if we create the problem again (on purpose)", "if we reproduce the problem", or "if we can make the problem appear again", or some such phrase.
